Vital Records, Chortitza Colony, 1808

Extracted by Tim Janzen

This page makes available a collection of vital records of births, marriages, and deaths that occurred in the Chortitza Colony during 1808. I have added a column that gives the record index number in the GRANDMA Mennonite genealogy database (GRANDMA number) for the head of the household for which the event pertains. These records cover almost all of the births, marriages, and deaths which occurred in 1808 except that no events were recorded for December. The original document was created on December 6, 1808 by Jacob Wiens, so it thus contains no events after that date and probably some events from early December 1808 and possibly also late November 1808 were omitted from the document. The latest event recorded in the document is on November 29, 1808. The original documents were written in both German and in Russian. If you have any questions about any of this data feel free to contact me.
